Answer the questi
26、ons below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answer on ANSWEB SHEET.BText 1/BAs my father grew old he became odd. He became mean where once he had been open-handed, and complained about the bills run up by the students who sometimes lived with him. He often woke up at four in the morning
27、and started to go out of the house. And he mislaid things, but he had never in his life had to find anything or file anything. He told the same stories, but he had always repeated stories, absorbed in the telling and unaware of the listeners expression of recognition or boredom. Now he had fewer sto
28、ries to tell.But the structure of his personality remained intact and his mind was as keen and fresh, as alert to anything new and interesting as it had ever been. The spring before he died I gave a seminar to a group who thought of themselves as avant-guard (先锋派), but he was the most searching ques
29、tions.In the summer of 1956, after he had to move from the little house in which all the mementos of his life were in place, he was obviously failing. Although his grandchildren found a hotel in which he could live independently and still cause little trouble by leaving his door open or the bath run
30、ning, because there was someone to watch out for such things, he felt close to the end. When summer school was over, his club, which he had founded and in which he ate lunch every day, closed. He was more alone, but the nephew of an old friend had breakfast with him to be sure that he had one good m
31、eal a day, and he himself made a last effort to see those of his old friends who were still alive. He died in his sleep the night he knew I was crossing the Atlantic on my way home.It was my father whose career was limited by the number of his children and his health, who defined for me my place in
32、the world. Although I have acted on a wider stage than either my mother or my father, it is still the same stagethe same world, only with wider dimensions. I have been fortunate in being able to look up to my parents minds well past my own middle years. And I watched my father growhe rejected his ea

39、e slowly when they were functioning as boats. The only truly amphibious vehicle that can move with equal ease on both land and water is the hovercraft (气垫船). The hovercraft is the invention of an electronics engineer named Christopher Cockerell. Cockerells hobby was sailing and he was interested in
40、the problem of reducing the friction of water on the body of a boat, and hit on the idea of designing a boat which would travel on a cushion of air.The air cushion under a hovercraft is produced by a large fan which blows air downwards between the craft and the water or ground, and so lifts up the c
41、raft. The air is main-rained at higher than atmospheric pressure by a flexible rubber “skirt“ around the bottom edge of the hovercraft, preventing leakage of air from the cushion. Because the hovercraft floats on the air cushion with no contact between the craft and the surface below, it can travel
42、over flat, rough ground or water with ease.Hovercraft are usually driven by air screws like propellers (螺旋桨), which face back-wards and “push“ the craft forwards, and can be turned to direct the hovercraft. Since there is no propeller dipping below the craft, hovercraft can travel up slopes out of t
43、he water, or land on beaches.Cockerells Air Cushion Vehicles, or ACVs, are now familiar to everyone and like all inventions, they have been improved upon. British Sea speed hovercraft have been carrying passengers and cars across the English Channel since 1968. They now have a “stretched“ version of
44、 their Mountbatten Class hovercraft which can carry up to 60 cars and 416 passengers between Britain and France in a little over half an hour.A new, large-sized hovercraft, designed and built in France, called the Sedam N500 of Naviplane, has now goneinto service. The 155 tonne N500 is 50 metres lon
45、g (162 feet) and 23 metres wide (76 feet) and can carry 65 cars, plus five coaches, together with 400 passengers. When the sea conditions are ideal the N500 can reach 112 kph (70 mph).A variation of the hovercraft principle is the sidewall ACV, which is more economical than the flexible skirt models
46、, and easier to control, but it cannot be used on land. The United States Navy have been experimenting with warships based on the sidewall principle, and some of these may well reach a speed of 160kph (100mph).（分数：10.00）(1).The hovercraft _.（分数：2.00）A.are moved forward by propellersB.travel on a cus
47、hion of airC.are lifted up by a flexible rubber “skirt“D.move faster on land than on water(2).According to the passage, Cockerell _.（分数：2.00）A.usually spent his spare time in sailingB.was the first person who had the idea of designing amphibious vehiclesC.liked to sail by ACVsD.is familiar with all
